Lupin the Third
Ever want to dive into the origin of one of the earliest and most long-lived anime titles aimed at adults instead of children, you need not hoist the black flag. Streaming Service Pluto.tv has Lupin the Third Part 1 in their On Demand library. I've recently completed all 23 episodes. And then I went and read up on it, because it turns out there were some interesting things that happened in the background.
The beginning episodes a bit darker and more brooding than the series later became, but the tone changed partway through, that's because they replaced the director... with Miazaki. (And you can see that influence with things like the changes to Fujiko's design, Clearly Miazaki has a bit of a fetish for bobbed hairstyles.)
It's also interesting to see the origins of some characters, like how the Samurai Goemon joined the crew, and how he wasn't exactly a regular until later on.

But yeah, if you want to know what they're talking about when they say "Green Jacket Lupin," that's where you can go. And it's Free, although with ads - Mostly repetitive ads for Geico and Paramount +.
I'm now getting started on Part 2, but they only have the first season. This is the start of the "Red Jacket".
